Meryem's POV

Hi, it is me again. This time I came with a film review assignment which I enjoyed while doing. In this task, we were asked to choose a film and write a review about it as a collaborative writing task. We first decided on the film with my friends. Everyone shared their recommendations and we voted for them. We chose grave of the fireflies. I really love this movie. It was my recommendation. It has many points to talk about so I thought it would be nice to talk about it. One of us created a google document and allowed access to us. We all took one paragraph and wrote the last paragraph together. We checked each other's paragraphs. It was a nice experience to write something with your friends comparing this to other assignments. Google documents is a perfect tool for this, it is so easy to use. I loved it.

Hello everyone, this is Meryem here! I am here with a cute project where we explain how to draw a realistic cat. In this project, I worked with two of my friends. It was a smooth process. One of the friends took the drawing part to her. She draws really well, and the video came out very good thanks to her. She decided on what to draw. Other friend of mine and I added most of the voice recordings to the video to balance the workload. The person who drew added her voice, too. My friend shot the video with her phone. We preferred CapCut to add the voice and edit the video. We added auto-generated captions thanks to CapCut, too. We realized we forgot to add references for the song we used at the end of the video for a few seconds, so we added it in the description box of the video on YouTube. While working on our task, we didn't face big challenges. The only challenges were about syncing the voice and the video. But we recorded our voice while watching the video at the same time; that’...

Hello everyone. I am writing for the last time for this course. It was a nice experience sharing what we have done with you. I will evaluate the experience so far in this post.   My favorite task is AR/VR teaching material. The experience was new to both of us, I think. It was fun. My least favorite one is flipped learning teaching material. I hated recording my voice over and over, and I don't think it was as fun as other assignments.   The course was easy in terms of subjects we have covered. They were not challenging to understand. But the assignments were a bit hard when you consider that we have done lots of work.   About the strengths and weaknesses of the course, I can say that the topics in general are good in general. For its weakness, it was boring for me.   I don't have an idea on how to improve it, actually. It was good overall. But having to do assignments every week (draft and final versions) was exhausting. But there isn't any way to adjust th...

Hello everyone! I am back with the last assignment of this term: AI-integrated teaching material.   In this assignment, I worked with the same people as my previous ones. We made phone calls. For the material, we decided on an app called Magic School, which we were introduced to last year. We wanted our students to interview a celebrity they like. We designed our material on Canva. First, we designed a page where we prepare our students for the activity by asking questions. Then, in the next two pages, we explained the activity, gave suggestions, and dedicated the second page for students to reflect on their experience. In the last page, we wanted them to evaluate the app and share their experiences. Lastly, we made a lesso plan for the activity based on ASSURE model. Here is the link for the material designed on Canva. Here is the link for the lesson plan . Thank you for reading. See you in the goodbye post!
